The two had two children together, Tracee Ellis and Chudney Ross. So what are his daughters doing today?

His younger daughter, Chudney is a producer and production manager. On the other hand, Tracee is working as a producer and actress who has worked in several projects including Girlfriends, Black-ish, Reed Between the Lines and many more. The Black-ish star went from fashion to television screens.

Tracee says that her mom and dad are the perfect fashion inspiration for her. They both have the best taste in fashion. She has also mentioned that Diana is the best mother in the world. Diana has always been very supportive of them, and even though she says "no" a lot, she has a great heart filled with love for her children. The mama Diana and the singer Diana is the two different kind of people and the world most probably has not seen the love and soft side of Diana like her daughters.

Besides that, Tracee updates about her family life with her parents on social media and flaunts the picture with them. She portrays her love and affection to her parents and goes for vacation and road trips with them. Tracee posted the vintage picture of her parents during their attendance at the Oscars in the early 70s. As per Essence, she received the honorary Black Women In Hollywood award in 2016 and mentioned that it was all possible due to her family support which shows that Tracee has the keen bond with her parents; Robert Ellis Silberstein and Diana Ross.

Diana also had a daughter before these two beautiful babies in the family. She had a daughter with Berry Gordy named Rhonda Ross.

Though Rhonda's biological father is Berry, she was raised as the daughter of Robert. Rhonda came to know about her real dad only at the age of 13. The harsh reality came in front of her when some commented her by saying that she looked like Berry. She and her other siblings used to call Berry as an uncle, as he was very close to the family. Now Rhonda is all grown up and is best known for her Emmy nominated show “Another World.”

Even after the divorce, Robert says Diana and him are like brother and sister. The two have separated but are still in touch with each other; they visit each other's place for dinner, or the kids come over. They have ended the married life in very good terms far away from fights and disputes.
